In the last few years a number of works reported the appearance of thick branes with internal structure, induced by the parameter which controls the interaction between two scalar fields coupled to gravity in (4,1) dimensions in warped space-time with one extra dimension. Here we show that one can implement the control over the brane thickness without needing to change the potential parameter. On the contrary, this is going to be done by means of the variation of a parameter associated to the domain wall degeneracy. We also report the existence of novel and qualitatively different solutions for a critical value of the degeneracy parameter, which could be called critical Bloch branes.
It is shown that the introduction of a suitable function in the higher-dimensional gauge field action may be used in order to achieve gauge bosons localization on a thick brane. The model is constructed upon analogies to the effective coupling of neutral scalar field to electromagnetic field and to the Friedberg-Lee model for hadrons. After that we move forward studying the localization of the Kalb-Ramond field via this procedure.
In this work we analyze the localization of fermions on degenerate and critical Bloch branes. This is done directly on physical coordinates, in constrast to some works that has been using conformal coordinates. We find the range of coupling constants of the interaction of fermions with the scalar fields that allow us to have normalizable fermion zero-mode localized on the brane on both, critical and degenerate Bloch branes. In the case of critical branes our results agree with those found in [Class. Quantum Grav. 27 (2010) 185001]. The results on fermion localization on degenerate Bloch branes are new. We also propose a coupling of fermions to the scalar fields which leads to localization of massless fermion on both sides of a double-brane.
In this work we solve the Dirac equation by constructing the exact bound state solutions for a mixing of generalized vector and scalar Hartmann potentials. This is done provided the vector and scalar potentials hold some relation. Namely, one must be equals to or minus the other. Finally the case of some quasi-exactly solvable potentials are briefly commented.
In this work we analyze the localization of fermions on a brane embedded in
five-dimensional, warped and non-warped, space-time. In both cases we use the
same nonlinear theoretical model with a non-polynomial potential featuring a
self-interacting scalar field whose minimum energy solution is a soliton (a
kink) which can be continuously deformed into a two-kink. Thus a single brane
splits into two branes. The behavior of spin 1/2 fermions wavefunctions on the
split brane depends on the coupling of fermions to the scalar field and on the
geometry of the space-time.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure
